Blue smart 24 V charger for LifePO4 always bulk charge at 28.7 V, Current 0 ?

Hi there,

I was wondering if anyone has experienced or can explain why when I connect two 100 amp LifeP04 batteries in parallel and start charging them with the 24v smart charger is always in bulk charging mode even if the battery lcd shows they have been recharged.

The other aspect I'm unsure about is it normal that the app shows the voltage being around 28 plus but 0 under the voice of CURRENT.

Any help would be appreciated.


Cheers

Assuming these are 24V batteries.

Sounds as if the internal BMS in each battery has cut the charge due to being full or over voltage before the charger recognises it.

That's what I believe is happening.

In fact, the batteries do appear to be discharging differently.

Also, the faster-discharging battery is getting up to a 15.2 V which it shouldn't and probably that's another sign of faulty BMS I think...
